Let's divide 490946 by 104
We want to figure out the number of times 490946 can be divided by 104.

On to step 1:
104 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 104

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 104, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 490 / 104

Advancing to step 3:
104 can be fit into 490 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 416 from 490.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 749 / 104

Going ahead to step 4:
104 can be fit into 749 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtract 728 from 749 to get 21.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 214 / 104

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 214 by 104, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 472.0
Subtracting 208 from 214 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 66 / 104

Step 6:
104 goes into 66 0 times with a remainder of 66.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4720.0
Subtracting 0 from 66 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 660 by 104, we get 6 and a remainder of 36.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4720.6
Subtract 624 from 660 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 8:
104 can be fit into 360 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4720.63
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 312 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 104 fits into 480 4 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4720.634
Deduct 416 from 480 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 104 fits into 640 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4720.6346
Subtract 624 from 640 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 160 by 104, we get 1 with a remainder of 56.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4720.63461
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 104 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 12:
560 divided by 104 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4720.634615
Subtracting 520 from 560 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 400 by 104, we get 3 with a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4720.6346153
Deduct 312 from 400 and we're left with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 880 by 104, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4720.63461538
If we subtract 832 from 880, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4720.63461538 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
